Palmer's 'will you take palmer to the hospital' prompt seems to have some interesting effects.
-While the prompt is on screen, snipe will shoot at the normal rate but each shot will cause damage several times, meaning that the player can die extremely quickly.
-If either spacebar, left or right is held when the 'z' key is pressed to bring up the prompt on screen, the player and party will move as if that key had been held, but slowed down (eg. holding spacebar means that the hover animation will take several times longer, or holding right will move them at a reduced speed). This does not stop until the text prompt is exited.
-While in this moving state, touching an enemy that would normally initiate an encounter has no effect.
